Photography: Dan Wilton explores the golden age of porn in his (obviously NSFW) latest shoot

Normally we associate Dan Wilton with the music industry. His bread and butter work involves trailing some of the most exciting new musicians across the globe and documenting their antics for us mere mortals to enjoy. When he’s not doing that you can invariably find him making normal people look exciting, turning football fans and Repton boxers alike into iconic individuals with the swift click of his shutter.

But Dan’s gone off-piste with his latest shoot, recreating the aesthetic of 1970s porno for the new issue of Vice. It features all the trademarks of pornography’s golden age; the dubious moustachioed gentleman caller, the Debbie Does Dallas white stetson, a liberal serving of male body hair – a far cry from the waxed chests of the modern age – and the all-important ecstatic close-up. To top it all off that nostalgic aesthetic of analogue smut has been preserved with real attention to detail, each image distorted with the streaked lines of a poorly-tuned VCR. Classic!

Dan’s work also features in the latest issue of Printed Pages, available here!

“Usually the model is freezing on shoots… this time it was the other way around,” says photographer Mirka Laura Severa on her latest project for SZ Magazin. Asked to concept a fashion shoot for down jackets, Mirka looked for an unusual way to showcase the products, and came up with the idea to use snowmen as models. The result is a hilarious series of images depicting well-dressed snowpeople frolicking, posing and taking selfies in a winter wonderland.

Brooklyn-based photographer Roe Ethridge has become known for exploring the fake and plastic nature of photography and in his work he often adapts existing images by adding new interpretations of reality or shoots highly stylised images inspired by classical compositions.

In 1982, distinguished photographer David Bailey published NW1 a photographic series of fading areas of London which David had inhabited for almost 30 years. As the iconic and recognisable buildings closed their doors, the photographer famed for his portraits, pointed his lens towards the decaying architectural beauty.

We tend not to notice stuff until something’s wrong with it. How aware are you of the lights in your house until a bulb goes out? When was the last time you thought about your pancreas? Flaws, problems and incongruities are what make us conscious of a thing’s existence. Without aberration, we don’t just lose our sense of normal, we lose our sense entirely.
